Being a computer nerd in this day and age is not as bad as it was 30 years ago. Back then, being tech savy is usually associated with wearing coke-bottled glasses, pocket protectors and buying stuff at computer shows (remember those). Nowadays, being tech savy is still associated with glasses but with cool frames, pocket smartphones and shopping at Microcenter. This Microcenter location may not be as big as their other superstores but it's very convenient if you live in the area. Some of their sales staff are hip looking geeks (in a good way) and one guy looks like Shaq. They're friendly and not pushy in trying to sell you something when you're just asking questions. If you want free stuff (don't mean a five finger discount), get on their mailing list for free memory cards or sticks coupons. I'm giving their Flushing store four yelp stars for their products (Winbook surveillance DVR and cameras) and service (human and online). read more

My 5 yr. old iMac "crashed"- took it to this Apple Authorized Micro Center (145-Queens Retail Store) for repair on 3/6/18. For the Serial # on the work order, they wrote my cell #. For "Problem Description" they noted "Physical damage/missing screws/Missing components?" none of which was true. Their diagnosis - after the diagnostics (for which I paid $43) - data would be impossible to retrieve. Their repair solution - stripping Hard Drive (the computer) clean and restore it to factory settings. No 'Operating system restore' without stripping or erasure was attempted. No data migration with thunderbolt cables was attempted. I declined their repair & and since I had nothing much to gain from the 5 yr. old computer, I bought a new iMac from them. When I showed the old unit to Apple Store they advised me of the 2 options not previously tried. At home, my Mac OS restore without erasure worked & all my data was saved. So I don't know whether their technician was so amateurish or whether they were steering me away from my old computer, citing its phony "physical damage..." description and inaccurate diagnosis of "unfeasible" to retrieve its data, thereby making it easier for me to decide to buy a new computer from them. I felt rooked and would have lost all my data from the old computer had I gone for their 'repair'. _ read more

What can I say this is toysrus for us tech nerds , very clean, helpful employees , they price match , always have newest tech in stock unless there being sold fast , can't say anything else , my go to place for all my pc hardware for years read more

Lots of parking space! Lots of computer parts! Great place to build a computer from scratch! Lots of selection of electronics! Very large! Nerd heaven! read more

This place is awesome! It's like a better version of best buy or radio shack. Plus the employees are really helpful and nice! They're always asking if you need help, normally I don't like when employees do this, but since this store is large and they have so many products, I actually do often need help and am glad the employees are so eager and happy to do their jobs. 10/10 would get all of my computer related products here. read more

Although I no longer reside in Queens... I remember having to make that dreaded trek out to Long Island to get what I needed -- but this new location in Queens, is definitely a lot more convenient for all, not to mention that there is a huge parking lot for those of us who drive. As for the size, it's pretty comparable to the one in Long Island. The one issue that I came across with the Micro Center in Long Island was that a lot of the things were unorganized (wrong price tags/wrong shelves with different items) and things were quite often "Out of Stock" -- but I did not come across this issue here. This store is definitely a great addition to Queens and by far, cheaper and a better value than Best Buy or P.C. Richards. read more

Great store with exceptionally knowledgeable people. Marvin helped us get just the right laptop for our Grad. Really took the time and stayed with us until we found just the right item. read more

Micro Center - Computer section - Electronics Near Me - Flushing, New York

Bought a refurbished laptop it came with a broken touch screen. So it took me awhile but I was able to disable touch part of the laptop and continue using it like a normal laptop. Then I dropped it 3 weeks later after I bought it. So since the screen replacement was so much they said I can get a gift card for the amount I paid for the unit said Johnathan the manager at the time. I was like is there any models similar to what I have I asked. He said he doesn't know too much about computer spec's and to talk to the sales people okay. So now i'm talking to the sales people and I say this laptop is good and maybe handle VR applications. Johnathan was like no it's spec's can't handle VR. I looked at him like look who just because the computer expert out of no where. So fine I could find a computer with the same specs and price so I decided to send it out for repairs. WRONG WRONG WRONG you see even though I deny the gift card they was trying to give me for the price of the unit they wanted to ask me a second time. Delaying my repair for the unit. The other managers couldn't help me in the matter even showed me on there fine print that they have complete control over your protection and can choose for you even though you might not want a gift card. They still allowed me to fix my computer even just smile and laugh at the part where now it taking another 5 business days to fix my laptop just because you wanted another sale. Greed people Greed is a sin and will devour us all if we are not careful. RIP Circuit City. read more

This store is pretty neat, there's always staff to help when I'm in need. I recently brought my laptop to the knowledge bar in the front of the store, and the staff was efficient and friendly. They fixed the issue and were very understanding. read more

Micro center has just about everything when it comes to electronics. You name it they got it and at unbelievable prices! I bought my whole gaming rig there and am very happy with the outcome. They are also very lenient with the return policy! read more

Worse customer service I've ever received. I walked up and down the same isle for gaming monitors while the workers just stood around talking. Not once did I get asked for assistance. I waited by a tower so I can buy it and workers walked right passed while I looked right at them. Probably because I'm young and came in with my Fiancé they thought I couldn't buy one. 3k lost I guess read more

I went there at the beginning of the pandemic and felt safe in the store. I recently went there and didn't feel this way anymore. Saw kids in the store with their masks pulled down. The checkout line was long and people were packed close together without 6 feet apart. One time the guy in front of me had his nose out and his hand repeatedly touched his nose, then he touched the merchandise along the check out line, picked them up and put them back. Another time I saw a guy wearing a 3M mask with his nose not covered. read more

I want to telephone them to make certain they have a cartridge I need for my printer. Their phone numbers is impossible to find. This is a problem. Why should I need to waste my time going them if I don't even know they have what I need. read more

I love the location near my house!! what i did not like is that the majority of staff are not that knowledgeable of the product! for example, I went with my husband to get my computer fixed and they didn't known the exact price or what other choice we can do to fix the problem, also they should work on the willing to help the customer once a customer arrives!! read more

What a great store. Far superior to the crappy Best Buys in Flushing and Rego Park. The store worker was very pleasant and she my shopping experience a delight. And the prices are amazing! For example, a ps4. In Best Buy a system would run at 390+. Refurbished Here at Micro Center I got one for 320!! Go to this store for all your computer needs! read more

Great Store, if you need to contact the store here is the Contact # (718) 674-8400

After speaking with the management of the store, who were aplogetic and offered to help in the future, I'm upgrading my review. Still a little irked, but I can go back to almost loving this store again. Just wish that when pointing out stock status, on the website to an employee, they would have tried to make things better with a comparable motherboard at a similar price. I'll try them again in the future, and hope things, work out better. If not it's back to Astoria for Greek food! At least the night wasn't a total waste. read more

Think of this place as the Home Depot of Computer needs and much more (printers, cameras, games, etc). Very satisfied during my first visit here. Note, they have brand new and refurbished items in stock so prices vary. read more

See all

Only computer store they have all computer collection some good for gaming and other school stuff but as you say all electronics store so I have different opinions about it TV s on display very less models I want to see lg oled TV in 77 size they don't have it in display beside this as for as I have experience I rate them as good computer store read more

At last an I.T. Store and more. I gave up on Micro Center a few years back. The Westbury Store was only a place to shop if you were desperate. The staff never got a single one of my orders right. It got to a point that I avoided the place altogether. Not so in Flushing. This is a top notch staff. They care about what they do. Jonathan, Steve, Tamara keep that floor moving. Tom and Adam run a fine crew. Everything I need when I need it and brought to me correct the first time. Great Service, what you need, excellent selection......Nuff Said. I did have to go out to the new Brooklyn Store as well. Seems like a great staff there as well. read more

Excellent selection of PC and Mac hardware and peripherals. But the shining star is the selection of parts. If you want to build your own machine, and you are nervous about ordering parts off the internet, come here. You will most likely find other things that the internet didn't mwntion, as well as a better price and easier return policy. On top of that, the techs are very helpful and friendly with questions, no matter your level of comfort with computer building. They can handle overclocking questions as well as questions about motherboard preference without making you feel stupid or that you don't belong. The place is great. Come here first before you buy any computer and see what you think. I bet you'll buy it here! read more

Micro Center - Electronics Near Me - Flushing, New York

TOTAL STARS: 2 STARS ========= SERVICE CENTER: 1 STAR STORE/PRODUCTS: 3 STARS ========= SERVICE CENTER: 1 STAR My mid-2011 iMac's hard drive was having trouble successfully rebooting after an OS update to Sierra. When the Apple phone tech could not help, he advised me to go to Micro Center to have them take a look at it. I took my iMac in and paid $40 for a diagnostic test. The service center guy said they would run a diagnostic test, and see how much it would be to get the data. I was curious, and asked what the worst case scenario might be. He said worst case, it would be a total hard drive failure, and the hard drive would the be sent to a special data recovery lab. A few days later I got a call that my hard drive did in fact fail. But lucky me - it was a full failure. He said they would need to send it to the special data recovery lab. The service STARTS at $700. That's right... $700. And it would only go up from there! They assured that the actual price would be determined by the recovery lab, depending on the complexity of the problem. I would have final say if I wanted to proceed with that service, after the lab's assessment. My instincts told me to request for my iMac back. I know data recovery can be that expensive, but I was skeptical that my hard drive had a "total hard drive failure"... that too after a simple attempt at an OS update. I am aware mechanical hard drive issues can accrue over time and result in a failing hard drive. However, I still found it hard to believe my issue was as severe as people who have lost their hard drives in fires, floods, etc. I turned to trusty Yelp, and looked up "Data Recovery" in NYC. I eventually pulled the trigger with New York Computer Help. I am a Do-it-Yourself techie, and am comfortable around computers and disassembly and installations. I researched on YouTube how to take out my hard drive out of the bulky iMac, and delivered it to New York Computer Help in midtown. They said they'd let me know in an hour about the scope of the work after running a free diagnostic test. New York Computer Help said they have different prices based on how complex the problem is - with Tier 1 being the lowest, to Tier 4 being the most expensive. After an hour they said I had a Tier 1 hard drive failure, and I got 100% of my data back for ONLY $150 plus tax. I supplied my own external hard drive for them, otherwise they will sell you one for $80 to transfer your data onto. I did have to make a few trips to New York Computer Help (first to deliver my failed hard drive, second to deliver the external hard drive so they could transfer my data, and third to pick it all up). I CANNOT recommend Micro Center as a service center for your Apple or Mac products. I am glad I am tech-savvy AND have good instincts. Otherwise I would have been out of more than $700. I also called Apple to officially voice my concerns, because I only went to Micro Center upon Apple's recommendation. I can only imagine how many people think, "you know, Apple recommended them, and if they say I need to shell out $700 - then so be it." I don't know how Micro Center runs their diagnostic tests, or whether some technician/worker was lazy in their job - but ultimately their recommendation was financially irresponsible, and inaccurate. New York Computer Help said I only had one bad sector, and although the hard drive was failing, it was still accessible and more than salvageable. I hope this review helps other Mac users. Do your research, shop around, and don't take anyone's word as the be-all-end-all just because they wear a uniform and have a name-tag (or even Apple's backing!) The only reason the Service Center received a star is because they were timely, prompt, courteous, and polite at every step of the process. But those qualities do not equate to the customer's best interests... at least not in my case. FYI: I installed an SSD to replace my failed hard drive, and my iMac is now blazing fast. STORE/PRODUCT: 3 STARS It looks like an outdated B&H Photo (of course B&H is very much THE be-all-end-all of electronics stores lol). The employees in the store were pretty lackluster. I've been to this store a good few times and have ALWAYS had to break up a bunch of employees yakking away, so I could have their attention in helping me (especially in the Apple section). In all of my visits to the store, I was never once approached to be helped. I always had to hunt for someone to help me out. Once I got someone, they were helpful. Product selection seem plenty, a good selection and variety. Just know exactly what you want before you go to the store (again, RESEARCH), so you can ask the employees to help you locate items. I will definitely return to the store for the sheer convenience of location. read more

I went to micro center and I had order an item from online then when I went to go pick it up in stores they wouldn't release it to me.

They basically have everything you need for electronics and computers. Pros: sales people here are great and friendly. They have a huge selection. Cons: they have long lines even with 4 registers open. read more

I give this place one star because I have to one because of the size and one for the selection of products went in there with the intentions of asking some questions and coming back within a week and spending like between 100 and 200 dollars give or take on two items. There were more employees than customers but they were busy talking to each other. After looking around for over 15 minutes and no one asking if I needed some assistance I left. I didn't want to interrupt their important conversations. I'll go to Best Buy and try my luck there even if it cost me a few dollars more read more

This is the number one place to go for PC components, especially if you're in a hurry and don't want to wait for your online ordered package to arrive. In fact, now that I moved only a 15 minute bike ride away from this store, I'll buy my things here instead. Despite all the online competition, their prices are still very competitive. Very friendly and helpful staff. I hope they will stick around for a long while. read more

This is my new go to for all tech-related troubles! No need for me to hit up Genius Bar anymore. Daniel is the best!!! After hours of useless chats with apple support about an extremely important word docx that had gone missing from my laptop ever since I updated my macOS, I decided to give micro center a shot. Walked in about 30 minutes ago, and walking out now with my document recovered!! Such a relief. Daniel found an ingenious way to get that file back, and showed me how to repeat in the future so I never have to go through the terror of thinking months and months of work have been suddenly lost! THANK YOU DANIEL / MICRO CENTER. Highly recommend. read more

George at the help desk was very helpful ,informative and honest with the diagnosis of my Mac book issues , However the sales associate didn't provide any assistance and literally walked by my and continued to chat amongst themselves while other customers and I needed assistance. I will make my new Mac book purchase at Best Buy instead. read more

Great location in Queens. They are knowledgeable but the push the warranties a little too hard.

Glad they opened this one, now I dont have to drive all the way to Long Island to go to the one in Westbury. I can walk to this one from my house. They gave out free 16gb flash drives to their previous customers. Check your email if you have ever ordered anything before. You will get a voucher for a free one and you can go pick it up at the store. While we were there they also gave us a free microcenter mug. Free parking in the lot. The store is decently sized with a good selection. The prices are the same as other Microcenters. read more

They suck.... False advertisement and they say one thing over the phone and totally opposite in store. Wouldnt waste time to go there ever again. read more

I go to micro centers in the west coast so hearing that a micro center opened in New York near by me, I was excited as hell. But what is with the people who work there? They were sighing, raising their brows, very rude behaviors. There was only one person that seemed to enjoy what she was doing while the rest were just rude and pushy and gave off some really off putting vibes. I mean, I bought my stuff, but the experience was just terrible. I don't know if it's because it's New York or it's because I'm so used to better and nicer workers. Guess I'll stick with Internet purchases from now. read more

I had Micro Center build a PC for me to my specs right after the New Year. I had built my previous PC 8 years ago and now that it was time for a new one, I didnt feel like doing it myself again. Eye sight isn't what it used to be. I researched online before hand what I wanted in it, did the compatibility checks and then reserved all the parts on their site. Did the final cross check with the technicians there, paid for it and picked it up a day later. I couldnt be happier. read more

I was very pleased to see them open up in my neighborhood, but then I went into to buy an ink cartridge on a Saturday early evening, and waited on line for nearly TWO HOURS. If I'd been running low on link, I would have ordered it on line, but when you have a print job in progress, you can't leave it hanging for days. So I waited. And waited. And waited. Then I reached a register and found that their card reader had a problem with my debit card, and they were all set to let me leave empty handed after all that time, rather than just enter my card number manually. And when when I pointed out how long I'd waited, the manager told me the line, the line I'd just been on, wasn't as long as I knew it was. It's a shame, because the location is convenient for me. It's a block from my home, but I'll go to the Staples in Rego Park, rather then be treated in that way. read more

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE My friend came here to get his Mac fixed because the hard drive had problems. The associate had no customer service at all!!! In fact, he gave him attitude and when he had to pay snatched his credit card right out of his hand! Talk about disrespectful, then they gave him a hard time when they called him. Then when he had to pick it up it took 2 hours!!! Why? Because the one and only person that can fix it was unreachable. Now 3-5 days later after having picked it up, he found out that his Wi-Fi wouldn't connect so when he came back AGAIN he found out that the technician that was fixing it FORGOT TO CONNECT THE WI-FI CABLE BACK how the freak do you forget to do that!?! Then after picking it up and turning it on what do you know? There was an error on the screen, the screen got fuzzy and he had to go back for a THIRD TIME! Micro center prys itself on its work and standards but from all I see is a half ass job! read more

I've shopped at Micro Center many times since they opened. It is really conveniently located to where I live, and they have an awesome selection of items, at very reasonable prices. With that being said, I've had two issues with the customer service here. The first time, I just considered it to be what it is, and didn't give it much thought. Most recently, last night, I came in looking to purchase a G Technology 1TB USB-C external hard drive. I walked over to the external hard drive section, and noticed that they had a very similar item made by LaCie Porsche, so I asked the associate about the differences. I had done a lot of research about the G Technology one, and began asking the associate the differences in the two. He really didn't have the correct information, but tried feeding me information that I already knew wasn't true based on my research. Thats fine, I didn't mind, I am an educated consumer, and so his advice didn't really affect my purchase. After deciding that the G Technology one was the right one, I asked the associate if they price match--knowing they advertise a 100% price match guarantee. He replied, yes, if we can find it online, they will price match--so I showed him the item on apple.com for 89.00 which was 40.00 less than micro center was selling it for at 119.00. He said to me, yes, we can price match, follow me, and he brought me over to the manager to whom the associate said, "Can we price match this, its advertised at apple for 89.00. The manager and another associate turned around to the computer behind the desk and began looking for the item online.... With that, he turned back around to me and said, verbatim... "B&H has is for 109.99, thats as low as we will go, we won't match apple, because they're a direct retailer... do you still want it?" So, I ask you: -How does this constitute a price match guarantee? -How is any electronic store, including apple or micro center NOT a "direct retailer"? Had this been an actual apple brand item, I could better understand their position... but this is a third party item, that be it apple, Best Buy, B&H, or Micro Center, they should honestly all, honor a price match guarantee, unless their policy states otherwise, which is not the case here. What really prompted me to write this review, was Micro Centers willingness to allow a customer to walk out the door, after I blatantly replied to the manager "I'd rather save the money and just go to apple", when he asked "do I still want it". In the age of amazon prime, and endless online retailers, customer service is the key to keeping brick and mortar stores well and thriving, its clear that Micro Center has missed the mark, I wish them luck, but I will NOT be shopping here anymore. read more

I always thought Micro Center was like another Best Buy but I was wrong; Micro Center offers much more products than Best Buy does and is the perfect place for buying random electronic things (I really don't know the correct vocab for these stuff). Prices are competitive and the store was very nicely organized, making everything very easy to find despite a huge store. Staff located around the store also took the initiative to approach customers and were happy to answer any questions. My only complaint was the employee at check out. She said all of 2 phrases to me - $32.98 and your email? Way to leave a lasting impression on the store. read more

Amazing selection of electronics/gadgets etc. Customer service is horrible, I tried matching price with amazon but I was told they would not match the price even though their policy states otherwise. Manager had an attitude of a total a*****. read more

I've been a customer of Microcenter for several years. This was my first time visiting the Flushing location, and I am so disappointed that I ever went there. I loved purchasing computer parts from Microcenter because of their two year warranty program, and typically all returns are honored and a gift card for your purchase is furnished for your defective items. However, I went into the Flushing location to return a defective item and was told that my warranty didn't work and that i would need to leave my item for 24-48 hours for them to review/repair my item. I was scrutinized and asked several times what was wrong with my device, to the point where they made me feel like I was trying to get over on them. I've have spent thousands of dollars in this store and always recommends to friends and family, however, today I felt embarrassed when i had to walk out of the store with my broken item and no resolution. Thankfully, not all Microcenters are built the same! I drove an additional 20-30 minutes to the Westbury location and returned my warrantied item with zero difficulties. I even soent an additional $1300 on a new part for my computer. I believe that the associates at the Flushing location judged me from the moment I walked through the door. My claims weren't even listened to, and they lied to my face about the warranty replacement program. I am extremely disappointed with the level of service i received, and i will make sure that everyone i know does not visit this location! read more
